I Am Slaughter - getting Dan Abnett to write the first book in a series is a good way to drag people in. He's one of the better writers in the Black Library stable. Sadly this didn't really do it for me, it felt like he was phoning it in. The Imperial Fists were kind of unrecognisable - in trying to present them as having their own identity that has evolved since the Heresy but lost in this calamity really they don't feel like any Imperial Fists we have ever known. This makes their loss not dramatic and shocking but run of the mill. We've seen any amount of minor Space Marine chapters wiped out, only the name in this one connects it to any lore we might care about. The Chromes, as a minor alien race, are similarly bland. We don't care for their loss, we're not interested in what has been destroyed as we might be in Horus Rising for example. In end this is an exercise in boredom and Abnett can do better. Predator, Prey - was better in places but worse in others. For those of us whose Space Marine journey started in the 80s Maximus Thane is a bit of fanservice. His characterisation and the world of the Fists Exemplar is pretty good, and the fighting there is good fun. But in the end its a heavy slog through, and I decided to stop there and read some other stuff for a while because Gav Thorpe and David Annandale are not names that reel me in like a fish on a hook...

In the thirty-second millennium, the Horus Heresy is ancient history. After centuries of peace, the Imperium is thrown into peril as a new threat menaces the galaxy, the rise of the ork empire. Epic omnibus including the first four novels of The Beast Arises series: I Am Slaughter; Predator, Prey; The Emperor Expects; and The Last Wall 'The Beast Arises' is an epic Warhammer 40,000 series from Black Library. Spanning twelve volumes, the story covers a galaxy-wide conflict between humanity and a massive ork invasion. It is the thirty-second millennium, and the Heresy is but a distant memory. After centuries of peace, the Imperium is thrown into panic as worlds everywhere are menaced by orks. In a relentless tide of slaughter, ork attack moons destroy planet after planet with gravity weapons of unstoppable power. On Terra, the High Lords are paralysed by the scale of the threat, and fail to take any effective action. With entire Space Marine Chapters missing or destroyed, does anyone have the will and the power to rise to the Imperium's defence? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
